Friday 17, Saturday 18 and Sunday 19, a gaunt brembiesi Patrol, 21 people plus the driver, attended the meeting on French soil twinning Brembio and Saint-Christo en Jarez, renewing the 'friendship between the two communities. The date chosen by French friends for the trip was one of the local fête de la gourmande potatoes, a fair that promotes local produce, potatoes, known throughout France for its quality and delicacy. But this year the program as currently topical expected on Saturday to visit the nearby Lyon, a city rich in history and cultural treasures, declared UNESCO World Heritage site.
not fully see it all in a day, so the choice of French friends for the excursion was restricted to the vestiges of the ancient Lugdunum, the capital of Roman Gaul and the Three-Vieux Lyon: the aqueducts, the hill of Fourvière then, and some aspects of the old Lyon as traboules and miraboules , the streets of a rich architectural heritage of remarkable depth and curiosity, the museum that collects Gadagne puppets of all countries and celebrates the Théâtre de Guignol, the character invented by Laurent Mourguet Lyon in 1808. It was an opportunity to discover a wonderful site where history, from ancient Gaul to date, is shown in its entirety to the attention of the visitor, a dynamic open-air museum, a city that perhaps for many brembiesi only remember the name of a football team encountered by their minions in the Champions League.
There were of course the typical moments of twinning, the official events and social occasions, such as dinner on Saturday in families, which would strengthen the friendship not only with host families, but also with other participants at the event, and exchange of ideas, information on mutual communities, everyday life.
